Marion was born in Port Chester, N.Y., March 21, 1926, the daughter of Peter B. and Marion (Bartlett) Fraser. She was raised in Barre, Vt., and graduated from Spaulding High School, class of ’44. Marion worked at National Life Insurance Co. until shortly after her marriage to Charles F. Ter Bush in 1950. Marion and Charles moved to Columbus, Ohio, and then to Chicago, where they lived and raised their family. They moved to Mount Carroll, Ill., shortly before Charles passed away in 1976. At her 35th high school reunion, Marion became reacquainted with Hugo Carri, also a graduate of Spaulding High and proprietor of Commercial Refrigeration in Concord, N.H. They were married in 1979 and moved to the Concord area, eventually settling down in Boscawen.

Marion was a loving wife and mother who instilled a good moral compass in her children’s lives. She and her husband, Hugo, enjoyed traveling and spent time tracing their family lines with trips to Scotland, Italy and Switzerland. Marion deeply enjoyed being with her family and seeing what each day would bring her.
